This was asked in the RuneQuestions section in Heroes Magazine Vol. II, No.4. The answer given there was that the attacks are made at 60%.

This was also asked. The reply was that the warrior could not split attacks because that would require that his skill be 100% or greater and the Bladesharp/Bludgeon spells do not increase skill, they just increase the chance to hit. (Personally I find this to be a little nitpicky, but to each his own.)
